In order to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship without invoking the away goals tiebreaker, the Crew needs to win by three or more goals, or win by two goals while scoring at least five times. All-time, the Crew has achieved this type of result on the road 11 times in club regular-season history, including this season’s 3-0 win at D.C. United (March 8). To send the match to extra time, the Black & Gold need exactly a 4-2 road win: something they have done three times in club regular-season history.

Clark joins the following group: Brad Friedel, Juergen Sommer, Mark Dougherty, Tom Presthus, Jon Busch, Andy Gruenebaum and William Hesmer. Clark made five saves against the Revolution, continuing the trend that each goalkeeper to ever appear in a postseason game for the Crew has, at one point, notched a five-save performance for the Black & Gold in the Playoffs.

AWAY GOALS COUNT ...

For the first time in League history, MLS will use the away goals rule as the first tiebreaker in deciding two-legged aggregate series ... the competition format is at follows: the four Conference Semifinals will be decided by two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg ... if the aggregate score is tied after 180 minutes of play, the away goals rule will apply so as to be consistent with CONCACAF and FIFA practice ... if the series remains tied, two 15-minute extra time periods will be played in their entirety, followed by penalty kicks, if necessary ... the away goals tiebreaker will not apply to overtime in the second leg of any two-legged playoff series.

... SO THREE IS THE TARGET

Due to the away goals rule, the Crew enters Sunday’s match needing the following to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship: a victory by at least three goals, or a two-goal victory in which the Crew scores at least five goals ... a 4-2 win for the Black & Gold would send the series to extra time.
